Thanks for all the info, I wish I would have known you were in Roanoke, I would have stopped by. I work for the Navy (Civilian) so I may be back out there soon, if so I'll look you up. I'll check into raising the truck an inch, if possible the way the cross member is set-up, may make it tough. That's why I was considering stiffer springs. I definately need to raise it up, one way or the other, cause the camber on the rear wheels is toed out about 3/4 inch without any wieght in the truck.

Thanks again,
Tim
